Best answer:
No. We are stuck in our own personal current times. Time is defined by on-going events. As the events of the past are done deals, there is no time in the past. As the events of the future are yet to unfold, there is no time in the future. We cannot go beyond our own personal time, the current, because there is...

Best answer: No. We are stuck in our own personal current times. Time is defined by on-going events. As the events of the past are done deals, there is no time in the past. As the events of the future are yet to unfold, there is no time in the future. We cannot go beyond our own personal time, the current, because there is nowhen to go to in the past or future. They do not exist.

You might have heard of time dilation as a way to travel into the future. Not so. The best the traveler can do is catch up with the present time of the observer in the observer's time line. And that's not the future of the traveler's timeline. To got into the future the traveler would have to go into the future of his personal time line. And that's not happening in time dilation.

I have no idea how to do this.

Best answer: Every question starting with "why" is incorrect. This one is no exception.
The curvature of space time is a THEORY.
Not a fact.
It is an attempt to explain the things that we know.
It started with the proposition that if we cannot tell the difference between an acceleration and a gravitational field then should we not treat them as one and the same?

What would follow if we did that.
Clearly things in a GRAVITATIONAL field must behave as if they were an accelerated object.
But does that mean that gravity does not exist? Hardly.

So whether you say that mass causes gravity which warps space time or that mass causes warped space time which causes gravity you really are playing with words.

One known fact is that things do fall. And the process of falling is given the name GRAVITY. that much at least is a fact because we have defined it to be so.

Now back to your dogma. The reason that we don't force people to teach theories as if they were fact is that they are not fact. Once we start worshiping dogma then we cannot differentiate ourselves from any other primitive religion. Belief trumps method. And in that act all science ceases to exist.
